The Russian Foreign Ministry has slammed unsubstantiated claims aired by the UK on Saturday that suggested Moscow was intending to "install pro-Russian leadership" in Ukraine amid the latest surge in tensions.
A statement by the ministry labelled the UK accusations as another effort by Western nations to escalate tensions in the region, underscoring that the so-called "exposed" findings were "nonsense".
"The disinformation spread by the British Foreign Office is yet more evidence that it is the NATO countries, led by the Anglo-Saxons, that are escalating tensions around Ukraine", reads the statement, before urging the parties to "halt provocative activities".
The release was issued shortly after the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office accused Russia of trying to install a "pro-Russian leader" in Ukraine, and of maintaining links with former Ukrainian politicians.
